Intro to CAD (AutoCAD and Google SketchUp)

This was the first course that I had in AutoCAD. Assigned projects in this course were the pen project, the classroom floorplan, and the black-and-white custom chopper. I went 'above and beyond' and created a floorplan, framing details, and an existing custom chopper (in blue). I also learned 3D concept on my own with Google Sketchup by taking the classroom floorplan and exporting it to Google Sketchup and then creating walls and furniture in that program.
